Backflow Testing, Certification & Repair in Pompton Lakes Borough, NJ
Pompton Lakes Borough is a historic community at the confluence of the Ramapo River and the Wanaque River in northwestern Passaic County — a borough of approximately 11,000 residents with a remarkable history as a DuPont explosive manufacturing community and, more recently, as a community dealing with the environmental legacy of that industrial heritage. DuPont (now Chemours) operated a major explosives manufacturing facility in Pompton Lakes for over a century, and the contamination from that facility has been the subject of significant environmental remediation work and community attention for decades. The Pompton Lakes DuPont Superfund site is one of New Jersey’s most significant environmental remediation projects. Beyond this environmental context, Pompton Lakes has a residential community, a lively downtown along Wanaque Avenue, and the natural amenity of Pompton Lake itself.
South Jersey Backflow provides certified annual backflow testing and certification, backflow repair and rebuild service, and backflow preventer enclosures throughout Pompton Lakes Borough for all residential, commercial, and institutional property types.
Water Authority Serving Pompton Lakes Borough
Pompton Lakes Borough operates its own municipal water system through the Pompton Lakes Borough water department — the borough’s own water department at 25 Lenox Avenue. The Pompton Lakes water department enforces cross-connection control requirements under N.J.A.C. 7:14B backflow regulations for all Pompton Lakes Borough properties. Annual backflow test reports must be submitted to the Pompton Lakes Borough water department. South Jersey Backflow maintains current submission requirements and files all test reports directly.
DuPont/Chemours Superfund Site and Environmental Context
The former DuPont Pompton Lakes Works — now a Chemours/DuPont responsibility Superfund site — is one of New Jersey’s most significant and long-running environmental remediation projects. This industrial legacy makes water quality protection in Pompton Lakes particularly meaningful. Annual backflow certification for all Pompton Lakes properties with cross-connections is both a regulatory obligation and a contribution to the community’s ongoing water quality protection. See why New Jersey properties need backflow preventers for the broader environmental context of backflow prevention in industrially affected communities.
Wanaque Avenue Downtown and Ramapo/Wanaque Confluence
Pompton Lakes’ Wanaque Avenue downtown has restaurants and businesses with standard backflow compliance requirements. The confluence of the Ramapo and Wanaque Rivers — which forms the Pompton River immediately below the borough — is one of the most hydrologically significant points in northern New Jersey’s watershed system, as the Pompton River feeds both the PVWC intakes and the broader Passaic River system.
